I Tried Orijen For Dogs and I Am Very Pleased

We interrupt our daily postings with this content from Viovet. According to DogFoodAdvisor, it gets a 5 stars for not having any controversial ingredient other than pea fiber. It meets the AAFCO nutrient profiles aside from being grain-free.

With no further ado, presenting this puggylicious story.

With
so many different pet foods out there sometimes it can be extremely hard to
choose one that is suitable for you and your pet. Dogs can be fussy eaters
especially if you spoil them. This is where I went wrong with my Pug and I have
been paying the price ever since. He is so fussy that he would rather starve
than eat something that he doesn’t like. This means that I constantly have to
mix in fresh meat and search for expensive pet foods to keep him eating.

As
he was still a puppy I introduced him to Orijen’s puppy food range - I thought that this would probably last only a short
time, but I liked the look of their puppy range especially because it contained
a lot of fruits and other vegetables over starchy cereals. He did really take
to this food and I also mixed in other cooked foods that I personally eat as
well; like some chicken and other leftovers from dinner.

For
a while I was feeding him another brand but he never really finished the food.
So I thought I would go back to the first brand that I tried and give him Orijen adult dog food;believe it or not I think my Pug loves fish. They
have a salmon range and he eats it so quickly that sometimes I think he will
get indigestion from it. It’s really funny because he almost collapses on his
back and lays there with his mouth open for a good 20 minutes after he’s
finished eating the salmon.

My
great aunt has a cat and I just wanted to reach out to a few other cat owners
to see if they have tried Orijen’s cat food products. The cat is an extremely fussy eater but I know that this
pet food uses only natural ingredients and they claim to be of a high quality.
I believe them about the quality but am not sure about how it tastes and if
cats really like this food. Please can any owners reach out to me to see if
they have tried this brand and had any success with it?

Just a funny thought while I was reading a forum regarding Orijen. One person mentioned that it not only smelled like meat, but it also TASTED like meat. He further adds, "You know me. I would never give my babies anything I haven't tried."

Our cats (all 7 of them) are on Orijen chicken and they absolutely love it. It smells really really nice too. Whisky likes it as well so she gets a little (only a little) of it as a treat. I don't get Whisky the Orijen dog biscuits because the kibbles are a little too big for her.
